The only ones I remember were UltaViolet and iTunes. UV got sloppily migrated into Google Play and iTunes is just about hanging on, but redeemed content has disappeared from both.

Funimation's 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑜𝑛 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝐺𝑇 𝑟𝑎𝑝 premiered less than a year before 4Kids' 𝑂𝑛𝑒 𝑃𝑖𝑒𝑐𝑒 𝑟𝑎𝑝. 4Kids might have saved One Piece from whatever weird dub-isms Funi 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 used had they not needed to 'save it' with an 'anti-4Kids dub'.

IMO, Blu-ray does have some strong quality of life improvements over DVD:
* Seamless branching is way more common
* Pop-up menus
* No aliasing on subtitles
* Picture-in-Picture (when well-implemented)
* Box sets that let you swap discs while the menu's still running

Okay, those last two are rare...

At some point they restored the song (this was September 2025; ironically I'd recorded it to see how the edits were handled).

Interestingly, it's clearly an ancient master so the mix is a bit different (even accounting for PAL speedup).
